less than half that so I feel pretty good. Regarding the '02 turbo models, or actually all the turbo models, search here for "sludge" and be prepared to spend a few hours reading the million or so posts on the subject. Basically the engines die and early death due to a clogging of the oil pick up tube and subsequent loss of oil pressure. You are looking a big deal money-wise to make it right. These's lots of opinions on the whys, the one I follow is that the combination of higher crankcase temps associated w/ the turbo and careless oil change intervals spell doom for these motors at a young age. Insist on comlete service history and inspection by Saab knowlegable mechanic,
Happy New year,
John
